FARM, HOME AND GARDEN,
MY WIFE.

She is INV wife, and all the livelong day
1 think OK her,
And in the deep oblivion of the night
| dream of her,
When she is near, sweet and tender calm
Falls softly on my heart with soothing balm,
like the rnurmured sound of an angels psalm
Pleading for man.
She is my life if love is lifes author,
Guardian and friend,
Guiding my feet from the pitfalls Of woe
Fen to the end.
When she is far, my heart is sore oppressed,
And sadly beats against my weary breast,
Like a prisoled bird that seeks its distant nest
With restless wing.
All! wife of mine, my wife, my soul, my all,
Be ever near!
May chilling shadows of my loss ne'er fall
Upon me here.
But down the opening isles Of future years
Be by my side TO quell the rising tears
That flow from hidden springs OF doubts ant
Within my breast

Planting Corn Eco Soon.
Pra e5ioal Mariner

According to our observations there
&c more poor eoua grown from piantfng
too early than from late planting. With
most seeds, and especially SO with corn,
condition of sell and weather which
will cause the gerE2s to start out quickly
and vigorously, and continue right On
without any cheek, will produce the
strongest and most healthy plants
those that will yield the largest and best
ears or kernels The first nourishmene
of tbe young plant is drawn from the
parent kernel. A little moisture and
warmth change the starch into soluble
sugar, and the other clements into a
suitable condition to be absorbed into
the expanding germ. IF cold or excess
i've moisture, or both soon fellow, these
materials enter into a fermentation and
state of decay, and become unfit to
feed the growing germ If they do not
die out entirely, their progress is slow
and sicklys like that OF half starved
young animal fed on inferior food. Few
strong rootlets are formed to strike out
and gather moisture from the soil to
form sap, and the tiny leaflets are lily
prepared to absorb food elements from
the air.
In multitudes of cases second plant
ing is necessary at a time when the plants
do not get far enough along with deep
penetrating roots to withstand dry
weather; though we have seen numerous
instances where replanted portions OF
fields have outstripped those from seed
dropped there few weeks earlier.
Where there is but a moderate rainfall.
and the summer season is usually very
dry, it is, of course, desirable to get corn
well started as early as it can be done
without any serious chill following. If
there is large area to be planted, and
help is scarce, the work may be done
somewhat early, though at risk. The
best way is to get the whole ground ready
and begin planting when all conditions
are most promising and certain. 1t is
too often the rule to make field ready
and plant it, and then 90 ahead and plant
the next.
In ATTITUDES 40 degrees to 43 degrees
we have raised, and seen raised, some of
the b,st crops from fields not planted
until about the LIST of June, and some
very good corn from seed put in the Sec
ond week that month.

THE GARFIELD STATUE.
Already in Its Place at the Capital-Descrip-
ton of the Work

Already in Its Place at the Capital Descrip-
tiOn of the Work
The bronze statue of Garfield, designed
by J. Q. A. Ward and cast by the Henry
Bonnard Bronze Company, of New York,
has been placed on its pedestal and will
be unveiled in Washington on May 18th,
The statue is of heroic size, ten feet six
inches in height, and weighs 5000 pounds.
The granite pedestal, which is eighteen
feet in height, was paid for by the gov
eminent, congress having appropriated
$4,000 therefor.
Workmen are busy upon the bronze
ornaments and tablets which will adorn
the granite shaft Immediately above the
three life-size symbolical figures In
bronze, which rest upon granite brackets
near the base of the pedestal. These
three figures are in sitting or recumbent
posture and represent the three types of
manhood depicted in Gar6eld's career,
viz, the student, the warrior, the states
man. The three tablets placed above
these ideal figures are in form of a shield
on which rests planetary globe for the
student, sword and trumpet for the
warrior, and laurel wreath inclosing the
scales of Justice for the statesman. The
shaft, which is circular, is circled by
looped bands of oak leaves, alternated
with buckeyes" in bronze.
The inscriptions upon the granite
are placed upon three sides, making a
new departure in this respect in monu-
ment art. They are as follows: South
west face-"James A. Garfield, 1881
1881" On the southeast face-"Mayor
General y. S. ", member of congress,
senator and president of the United
States of America On the north face
Erected by the comrades of the So
ciety of the Army of the Cumberland
May II, 1888"
cit stands in the small circle at the
foot of Capitol hill, and looks southwest
| through Maryland avenue. 1t is the sec
ond bronze statue raised in Washington
by the Society of the Army of the Cum
| berland, the equestrian statue of General
George III. Thomas being the first. The
Society of the Army of the Tennessee has
adorned one of the public squares with g
bronze equestrian statue of General Nc
| Pherson, who was killed on Georgia
battlefield. The other equestrian statues
in Washington, are Jackson, Greene anC
Scott. The last named hero has beer
, honoIed with two statues. one of which
stands in g commanding position in th'
grounds OF the soldiers home, overlook
ing the Capitol and it's surroundings
The bronze pedestrian statues besides
that of Garfield are of Rawlins, Farragut
Dupont, Joseph Henry and Martin
Luther. The bronze statue of Chic
Justice Marshall is in a sitting posture
as is Greenoughs' Washington in marble
Lincoln is the central figure in the bronz
group Emancipation" and he is also re
presented by shocking marble figure OF
a slim and lofty pedestal which stands be
fore the United States court house. Thi
list shows that Washington is fairly wei
provided with outdoor statues.

Spring Managesnent'of Bees.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

The first work performed by the bees
when the weather permits them to come
out of the hive is to cleaa out the filth
and accommodations of winter. Dead bees
are thrown out and every portion of the
hive is put in order for the labor of the
coming season. 1T is very important
that the colonies be very strong and
numerous. A good, strong colony Is
worth three or four weak ones The
profits from Bookkeeping depend partly
upon the skill of the manager. Bees
can not make honey unless they have the
honey producing plants to work upon,
and the results depend somewhat upon
the season. la those sections where
fruit growing is made specially the
bees have all the work they can do early
in the season, out after the blossoms are
gone they .eften have to range over q
large extent efcountry in search of hon
ely, and this subjects the hive to g loss of
many of its members. Birds, spiders,
toads and other enemies play havoc with
them, while a sudden shower will some
times destroy a large number before they
can return 30 the hive. To make the
keeping of bees a business properly there
should be certain crops grown partially
for their benefit, such as bGckwheat,
upon which the bees will work indastri
ously. The red clover would provide en-
excellent means of honey but for the
fact that the fewer is too deep for the
bees to work in; bit the ordinary white
clover, alsike clover and other grasses
are put to good service. With the in
improved hives thecbees are allowed first
tic store UP the food required fer their
use in winter, and 'shey are not robbed OF
that supply, but if they have plenty of
blossoms to work'en they are provided
with extra sooxes. Ghis is an excellent
mode, rs the beekeeper is compelled to
bear the loss instead of the bees, which
induces him to resort to all available
expedients to provide for the bees with
somethi ng from which to derive koney.
The habits of bees must be studded and
they require careful management. Work
is required to manage them property,
as they can aot always be kept with
profit, unless al the conditions be favor J
able.
